The same (very) few players who were grinding last week at various tennis spots around the world are still at it this week.
Meanwhile, most players at higher rankings have finished their season and begun their preseason and are looking at a Xmas break and less than two weeks before it all starts over again.
We cannot reiterate this enough; tennis is nuts.

Yes, I think we can all agree with Brenda … have a great holiday season … what little there is of it … hahahah
Now, back to business … can you tell us of your plans to head down to Australia? I hope that is on the agenda, and if are involved with AO radio this season, so we can keep an ear out for you there ??
I hope you have a nice Christmas break, Stephanie.
